New techniques are only introduced after someone takes a chance to try something new and different.

I have OCD "Obsessive Crappie Disorder"
My thought also,my hand punched foam will be the cupped and flat face,but I will hand carve my wooden poppers and streamline them .
I had one encounter with catching crappie at dusk dark on a fly rod but it was with crickets . Never saw it happen before or since .
I find it courious that using a popper below surface seems taboo.Having caught crappie on a variety of live and lure,it seems completely logical to the lunatic in me that a luscious looking popper sinking slowly past a stump may be the next magic crappie catcher
I find it harder to grasp a crappie hitting them on the surface,but then again,I've never even fished a beetle spin with the original beetle,I've always had better luck replacing the beetle With just about any other plastic.I will be sure to let y'all know how well,or not a popper going deep works,I've got a hunch it will work
Eagle 1 thanked you for this post
Are you going to wrap a piece of copper wire around the hook shank or are you going to drill a hole and push the copper wire thru the popper body?
One way will be to simply add a split shot and allow it to sink.Another way that has a possibility is to build the popper around a tube jig.I just believe a popper can catch fish below surface,so why limit it to the surface,a jig if fished many ways,as are flies,I'm just gonna broaden a poppers usefulness........or perhaps not!
